Current Market Share For PC’s And Mac’s

Published by techspotlight at 12:05 am under Apple, Windows Vista Edit This

Another month has passed and now we have the latest Operating System percentages for computers in terms of usage.  Again we have another month of Apple trickling more market share out of the vastly superior Windows domination.

Microsoft released the Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows 7 in May and it has gotten an incredible amount of praise already.  This could be a turning point for Microsoft if users start turning back to the Windows platform.  It is presumed that Windows 7 will be finalized and released sometime in either the late summer months or early fall months.

Please be aware that these percentages are based on consumers and businesses, not including servers.  The actual figures and data are provided by Global Market Share Statistics and their website can be viewed here.
